Does it really matter if the the knife is forged or stamped as to how convenience it is to work with it?

@Elazar - absolutely. Forged knives are better balanced, less fragile, hold an edge better and can be sharpened. Stamped knives are inexpensive but are useful because they are more flexible. That said- the label "forged" is not what is valuable. Understand the differences and use what you like.
